A weak signal acquisition strategy based on block processing and differentially coherent( BPDC) is put forward after analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of coherent and non-coherent integration algorithms. Code phase parallel search of the pre-coherent integration is conducted by using fast Fourier transform( FFT),and the results are then differential coherent processed and block processed. BPDC method reduces computation cost compared with coherent and noncoherent( CNC) algorithm. The performance of the two algorithms is also compared based on simulated signals. The result shows that the noise suppression effect of BPDC algorithms is superior to that of traditional CNC algorithm,and the superiority of BPDC is more apparent with the reduction of carrier to noise ratio( CNR). In the case that the pre-coherent integration length is 4 ms and CNR is reduced to 28 dB-Hz,CNC algorithm cannot yet acquire signal correctly while BPDC has well acquisition performance. Therefore,for weak GPS signal acquisition,BPDC algorithm can acquire the signal with lower CNR and has better acquisition property.展开更多

The signal integration operation which enhances the sensitivity of the system also makes the frequency slots narrower, which affects the speed of the system. In this research a high sensitivity GPS signal acquisition circuit is implemented with a new frequency domain search strategy. The new strategy combines DDS sweep strategy with cyclic shifting sweep strategy which makes the TTFF (time to first fix) reduced evidently. The extra hardware resource cost of the new strategy is acceptable. The speed advantage of the new frequency domain search strategy has been verified by hardware comparison tests.展开更多
